Arizona Lost Treasure
Arizona lost treasure sites are listed on this page.
However, before you begin your search for treasure, you should be better prepared by doing more research. Too many times people have set out to locate a buried treasure only to find nothing but heartaches and misfortune. Where they failed in their attempt to find the treasure was their lack of knowledge regarding the story behind that treasure.
The most difficult part of the search may be researching the treasure story. Treasure stories change with time. As a story is told throughout the years it is sometimes changed in the way it is told. It may be a small, misspoken statement, either made intentionally, or unintentionally, and it is that misspoken statement, that may be the one piece needed that could lead to that treasure.
Research Is The Key
That is why it is so important to do your research regarding
the treasure you are looking for. There are many tools available to you. The
Internet is a good place to start your research, but do not become addicted to
it as a complete research tool. Use
historical societies in the area you want to search to find possible stories
about treasures in the area. Many times they have information about a story. In
addition, visit used bookstores that sell old books and magazines regarding the
history of the area. Often you can pick up a story, or bits and pieces of a
story having to do with a lost treasure. Search for old books, old newspapers,
old maps, and anything that may help you in garage and estate sales.

Arizona Lost Treasure and Using a Metal Detector
Having a reliable metal detector to use in your search for
Arizona treasure is important. But you do not have to have an expensive model. You
can buy a reliable detector for a few hundred dollars. If you’re looking to
purchase your first metal detector, stay away from the models that have to be
manually ground-balanced. Although the
learning curve on inexpensive metal detectors is fairly easy, it can be
complicated for new users using a manually ground-balanced model.
Good luck! And have fun in your search for Arizona lost treasure.
